Will Smith whacked the heck out of Chris Rock and we have rewatched that clip from the Oscars 2022 more times than we care to admit. But we’re done with the memes now, and binge-watching the results of our own influencer Oscars – the Cosmopolitan India Blogger Awards 2022!
This year was the 4th edition of the Cosmo India Blogger Awards, and boy was it amazing. The awards took place on 27th March 2022, celebrating and honouring online excellence. Cosmo India managed to gather all our favourite influencers under one roof while setting the fashion trends on fire.
While last year’s award function was held completely online due to Covid-19 restrictions, this year all shackles were broken. We saw new categories like “Sexual Health Influencer Of The Year” while some old ones got chucked. Anyway, let’s check out the Cosmopolitan Blogger Awards 2022 winners list.
How are the winners of the Cosmopolitan India Blogger Awards chosen?
The Cosmo India Blogger Award winners are selected by popular opinion and the editor’s choice. You love them and you vote for them! Then a carefully-curated jury also votes for the Editor’s Choice Awards. Okay on with the winners now.
